Something that many haven't thought of is that the very beginnings of climate change began with the beginning of the industrial revolution. Specifically from the time that industry switched from water power to coal fired steam power. Added to that was the advent of the automobile and by then the ball was rolling. Fire based power generation and locomotion (of any kind) had never occurred before throughout the entire history of the planet. This is an event that only began less than 200 years ago. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that this event which continues to grow at an exponential rate has effected this planet and it's atmosphere. Anyone who denies that possibility is merely sticking their head in the sand.
